Specialty Spares TT pipes or BC Predators?

I just picked up an all stock '07 Bonneville Black. I have done extensive research on aftermarket exhausts and am undecided on which one to purchase. I am leaning towards the TT pipes, however the predators are aesthetically appealing. Any insight would be greatly appreciated.

One thing to consider

First of all, congrats on your purchase.
I am not sure if know that BC offers a basic performance package which includes everything you will need at a discount price, not much but still a discount.

Good luck on your choice.

I voted for the TTs just because they look great IMO. But it also depends on where you live. Some states or cities will give you a hard time with both the removed muffles look and the noise. You also will have issues with the centerstand. But if you live in an area where inspection and cops don't matter... I would get the TTs if it were me. I cannot where I am at, so I am jealous of people who could.

it's more a question of how loud do you want them to be and what look you want.

The TTs are much louder than the Preds.

Take a look at Bubs too. Also very loud.

like sweat said, take a look at the bubs as well. they look really good. I have to ride 10-15 miles on the highway to get to the mountains, so they are a little loud for me, but they sound awesome.

I have the TTs and love them. They are loud, but acceptable. The performance is not a problem. Haven't had the pred's or bubs but these do just fine. Definitely a look like no other.

Wouldnt it be interesting for some one with a dyno to test all the pipes out there on the same bike to see what gives you what.Some one that has no ties to any of the pipe people.
